Discord bots, on multiple occassions, have DM'd me child pornography with invite links to related servers. I have no idea how these bots have found me or why they are allowed to message me, and so far any attempt to make Discord answer me about them has failed.

This earned yet another twitter DM to them telling them they fucked up. They benefit directly from the open source community so this is a huge "fuck you" to everyone involved.

Slimey, shitty tactics. I was previously going to run a company through them but now I'm going to evaluate other options.

Are you aware that there is an option to disable messages from unknown users, and users you do not share a server with?

There is also a setting for discord "scanning" your messages for bad content, maybe that's something you're looking for.

[junon]

Yes, and it's enabled. That is the problem. Only users in shared servers are allowed.

I'm confused. What did Discord do wrong? Spam is a problem across all message platforms.

Discord took two weeks to get rid of it and still haven't answered any support requests about wtf happened or why it took so long.
